Off-Metals Struck At<br />
The San Francisco <strong>Mint</strong><br />
A<br />
very small group of PROOF and mint state errors recently came from a collection that was<br />
auctioned by the State of California. The U.S. Secret Service inspected and released this<br />
collection to the State of California determining that it was legal to own. The State of California<br />
then auctioned the collection and it has been dispersed since the sale.<br />
Included in this collection was a batch of mint state off-metals struck in the San Fransisco<br />
<strong>Mint</strong> from 1965 through 1970. Several of these dates are extremely rare. The 1965 and 1966 Cents<br />
are struck on clad Dime blanks which were intended for the striking of the Special <strong>Mint</strong> Sets. The<br />
1968-S Cent are struck on clad Dime blanks which were intended for the striking of Proof coins.<br />
The 1968-S and 1970-S Nickels struck on Cent blanks are extremely rare.<br />
